Lustenberger et al. perform a randomized crossover trial of auditory deep sleep stimulation in older adults, conducted over multiple weeks within the participants’ homes. The authors report substantial inter- and intra-individual differences in the slow wave response to auditory stimulation and identify predictors of response.
